13 episodes


Synopsis:

COSMIKO: Neon Night is a neonpunk audio fiction anthology straight from the underground. Dive into a future stitched together with neon, shotgun miracles, and dreamers too stubborn to quit. Bright lights. Dirt under the nails. Names etched into steel. This ain’t about saving the day. It’s about surviving the night. Every season drops you into a new city, a new street-crew, a new fight. // Season 01 – A broken automaton caught in a turf war over a vial that might rewrite everything. // Season 02 – A poisoned cop races against the tick of a clock to torch a corporate lie. // Season 03 – Incoming. You wanted a boom, so you’re getting a boom. COSMIKO: Neon Night is for the ones still up at 3 a.m. chasing something before the lights go out. We’ve been there, we hear you. Tune in. Glitch out. Burn bright. Comms open: https://linktr.ee/visitthecosmiko

Dive into a neon-drenched underworld where loyalty is nothing and survival is everything. A simple night on the town spirals into a mad chase through the city’s criminal underworld. With cut-throat gangsters and shady vigilantes closing in, it's up to Evelyn to forge alliances and brace for betrayal. The terms are clear: unravel the truth behind the vial, or become a permanent resident in the scrapyard.   What You Can Expect:    // Hard-Hitting Characters: Anti-heroes you'll love to hate and villains you'll love to fear.    // A Gripping Story: A tangled web of deceit and violence where alliances shift by the minute.    // A Sonic Experience: A tailored soundscape of neon-lit streets, gritty alleyways, and synthwave.    // Some Jokes: They may cause a moderately loud exhale through the nose. Join us on a pulse-pounding adventure through the techno-metropolis of Luna Mare Nubium in COSMIKO: Neon Night.   Experience the full season now!

// ENTRY ID: TW-00944.a //

// It never ends with us, does it, Cyrus? Even after the precinct firebombed the Cloaca Black Market, they still drag us back into the rot. Guess we’re just built different. Keep your chin up. Even if this “big score” turns out to be another fairytale, there’s an overtime bonus in it for us. Maybe even a little something extra… if you’re sweet enough.

// Word of advice before we slip into Paradisum’s softer corners, okay? Stay in line. You’ve got that big, bleeding heart. Always trying to go the extra mile, even when the sidewalk ends in a ten-story drop.
